of money to purchase drove of horses, which
were turned over to Leggett to dispose OF. The
latter brought the horses 10 this city and began
to dispose of them to customers, as they might
appear. 1t seems that the doctor began TO feel
anxious about the outcome of the horse
transaction, and accordingly came down here
TO lind out how his friend Leggett was getting
on. The doctor found that Leggett had done
quite comfortable business in the horse line
but the returns did not appear to be satisfactory
to him, and hnaliy he aore ont warrant for
the arrest of Leggett charging him with the
embezzlement of 81 200. He also charged Leg
gett with having Endorsed his {Gates) name on

would permit. Leggett squared accounts t1-day
